I try to keep track of new concertos being written for Clarinet and I wanted to let you all know of a few that are coming or have already been premiered in 2020. This is a particularly fruitful year for new Concertos for Clarinet! Here's what I've got so far. Feel free to add if you know of another being premiered soon.

Awesome! Thank you. Do you know of anyone doing the same thing for Clarinet sonatas? Always looking for new sonatas.

Glad to see Ignacy Zalewski 's Concerto in this list.
It's an incredibly powerful piece that I'm honored and excited to premiere.

Hi Brian - no, unfortunately sonatas don't get the coverage that concertos do. I don't personally track that, although perhaps someone does, I really don't know.
Thanks for chiming in Tom! Please post a recording if one becomes available. Best wishes to the premiere in a few months.

Hi all,
I'm normally just a lurker on these parts, but it gave me great excitement to see Garrett Gillingham's new Concerto for Clarinet and Wind Ensemble listed here. I was the soloist in yesterday's premiere performance with the Millikin University Symphonic Wind Ensemble and this is a fantastic addition to the repertoire. Once the recording is available, I hope to (with Garrett and our Director of Bands's permission) make it available online. If anyone is looking for a new piece to perform with a wind ensemble, I highly encourage you to check out Garrett's concerto. For now, there's a small snippet from rehearsal with Garrett in attendance on Facebook at:

I'm normally not one to revive an old thread, but since there was interested about the piece... here is the recording of Garrett Gillingham's Concerto for Clarinet and Wind Ensemble:

Garrett has written a fantastic addition to the repertoire for clarinet and wind ensemble—I'm not aware of any clarinet concerto that encompasses such a diversity of styles and influences. I truly hope that you will consider programming this piece at some point in the future.
